help with Fly by wire

I'm currently building a Lamborghini Diablo with a 99' LS1. I seen somewhere on the web a nice photo by photo to hook up the Fly by Wire, would anyone know where this can be found or know if I need anything els then the Gas pedal and the computor for this?

Thanks,
John

Junk the fly by wire and use a throttle body, cable,and pedal assembly for a LS1 camaro or firebird. The frustration saved will be worth it. It also depends on what pcm you are using etc etc etc. It's a PITA to swap drive by wire.

I am using fly by wire and loving it. it was a lot easier than running throttle cable and adjusting it. All I had to do was cut a hole in the fire wall and plug it in.

with the rear mounted engine, a throttle by wire setup would be prefable.

im still doing research on the subject (thats why im here) but from everything i read, speartech seems to be the place for the custom throttle by wire setups... most other places dont know how they work, so they junk it in favor of the simpler to understand mechanical system.
